IDS 14TH ANNUAL KIDS CLASSIC GOLF TOURNAMENT

HAVE YOU SIGNED UP ALREADY?

“BE IN THE KNOW: KEY ODDS AND ENDS”
WELCOME BACK PARTY: Ask any of the 400 people who attended the Welcome Back Party on
Friday, August 24, and they will say it was great, full of warmth, smiles, and people enjoying the opportunity to
connect. Parents raved about the food that was catered by our very own Chef Garret Jagdmann. Roger
Keplinger from Acoustic Music was splendid as always. PFA Hospitality Co-Chairs, Stacy Leeds and Linda
Simonton, were so pleased with the turnout and everyone’s enjoyment of the evening. Thanks Stacy and Linda
for planning a wonderful and very enjoyable gathering for our Board of Trustees, teachers, parents and once
again, our terrific generous sponsor: ACADEMIC ALLIANCE IN DERMATOLOGY
SUPPORTED BY ACADEMIC ALLIANCE FOR CLINICAL RESEARCH.
BIG EVENT CANOE TRIP CREATES ANOTHER FABULOUS DAY: "Land Ho! IDS
straight ahead!" Canoeing -- What a special way to start the school year at IDS! Dominic Bottini (K) and the
Schultz family, Sofia (Cool Cat), Drew (PK4) and Nicholas (PK3), had the wonderful opportunity to canoe to
school for the entire first week. Thanks to the generous donation of the Shannon family, the Bottini's and the
Schultz' won the canoe rides at the auctions held at last year's IDS Golf tournament and at the Big Event. The
children were thrilled as their daddies paddled them in every day and docked behind the library. This was also
a relief to their mommies, who avoided the back-to-school traffic at drop off. Thank you IDS!!!
SPC UPDATE: For the last six years, St. Petersburg College of Education (SPC) interns come to study at
IDS before and during their internship to learn about IDS’s M.O.R.E. Approach to teaching and learning. This
training facilitates their success as teachers. The training lasts for four days and is run like a boot camp for
teachers with an executive flair added. It is part of our IDS mission “to have a positive impact on the greater
community”. However, this impact has often annoyed many IDS parents because as SPC has grown so
successfully in numbers, so has the number of attendees taking up parking spaces. So, the college has made
some excellent adjustments, which include holding two of the four days 1:00 – 8:30 p.m. (September 2nd and
3rd) and two will be on September 4th and 5th from 9:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. to avoid traffic lines.
We have also condensed information from six days to four days. We ask for your patience and your
willingness to put on your “community service hat”. That means that they are asked to wait to come to our
campus to allow for arrival, and they leave after our dismissal. If you are a parent that parks to pick up your
child and you have a challenge to park as normal, please use the dismissal procedures used for pick-up in
Corbett Hall or in the Middle School. Thanks for working with us to make this a “win-win” situation. All
parents are invited to join in the training!
M.O.R.E. BRINGS SPANISH EDUCATORS TO IDS: We are so pleased to welcome from
Madrid, Spain: Mariá Cruz Fernández (Virgen de Europa School) and Javier Oca, and Almudena Solana (Liceo
Sorolla School) to IDS to start off the school year. Their schools have already participated in the M.O.R.E.
training. Our “Spanish explorers”are learning as much as possible to take back with them to their own very
wonderful and prestigious private schools. They are also a big help to our teachers and enjoy our students.
They return to Madrid to open their own schools on September 6 and September 13.
BIG EVENT STREETS AND PARKING SPOTS: Look around the campus and you can see new
street signs and walkways named after the generous donors to IDS who won these fun honors at the 2008 Big
Event…CONGRATULATIONS TO: the “Mimi and Tee Coto Street”, the “Ahmad and Alexis Everett Way”,
and the “Blake von Thaden Blvd.”!
Also, please remember that the designated Big Event parking spots are reserved for the 2008 Big Event silent
auction winners only!!! Their names are on the spots, and they earned them through the bidding process. The
rest of the school is benefiting from their generous win!!! Thanks to all for parking in any other spot (except for
handicap spots, of course.)

Classic tournament on Monday, September 15, 2008, at Avila Golf and Country Club. Our next
meeting date will be Wednesday, September 3, 2008, at 8:15 a.m., so bring along a “foursome” and
“chip” in some ideas! Thank you to all of the parents who kicked off the planning with your

PROUD MOMENTS SOAR FOR OUR IDSers
TO OUR IDS FAMILIES, PLEASE SHARE SPECIAL MOMENTS SO THAT EVERYONE CAN ENJOY WITH YOU.
Sami Reiss, (IDS Fifth Grade), competed at the Keilyn Horse Show in Lutz, FL. On August 24,
2008. She competed in the open cross rails division and took first place with a blue ribbon on the flats,
a blue ribbon in hunter over fences, a yellow ribbon in equitation over fences and the Champion
ribbon in her class. Sounds like a great day for Sami and her family.
Congratulations to Austin McCullers, (IDS Seventh Grade) and Ryan McCullers (IDS Seventh
Grade) for putting Tampa on the map with the Citrus Park Little League All-Star team by placing
fourth in the nation for the Little League World Series. Everyone loved watching them play on ESPN!
It was a WOW for them and all of their Tampa hometown fans! Bravo boys!

can attend both sessions. If you have children in three divisions, plan ahead and divide up your time
between parents and/or caregivers.
3. Please ARRIVE ON TIME to each session so that the valuable time is honored with the teachers
without interruptions.
4. Specials will also be available and eager to meet with our parents. They will be in the Grand Room
(located on the second floor of the New Building) to speak to parents individually or in small groups
from 6:30 - 9:00 PM. Please drop in and enjoy a special time to say hello or ask questions about their
programs: Fine Arts, P.E./Athletics, Spanish, and Technology.

Dear IDS-CC Families:
“The quality of our lives is determined by the quality of the
questions we ask!”* The success of a non-profit school like IDSCC can truly benefit from our constituents asking quality questions
about ways to contribute to achieve the high expectations we have
as a vibrant, learning and giving community.
THE ASK: How can I help make a positive difference in
my child’s school?
THE ASK: How can I support the parent leadership in
the school?
THE ASK: How can I inspire others to join me?
This volunteer booklet gives some very good answers to these
“ASKS”. Participation in either a small or a large way is
appreciated and valued at IDS-CC. The key is after “THE ASK”,
COME AND DO! Connect with us knowing that the whole, equal
to the sum of its parts, can even be greater when aligned with a
worthy cause. The volunteer programs need you!
We extend a very appreciative thanks to the 2007 – 2008 PFA
leadership team for all you do and an advance display of gratitude
to the entire community for what you are about to do.

PFA Fundraising Management
Here is a brand new committee focusing on fundraising
research and design! The perfect opportunity if you are
ready to work on short term committees and have high
energy.
Our fundraising projects involve hands on
planning, organzing, and direction. From grant writing to
passing out flyers during drop off and pick up, our
fundraising management committee is highly dynamic.
Volunteers are needed to research new fundraising ideas,
to help develop new fundraising ideas, and to carry out
adopted fundraising projects. This is a great opportunity
to be on the ground floor of an exciting new committee.☺

The chosen book is The Alchemist
By Paul Coehlo
This booklet provides you with a chance to learn about the
multitude of opportunities available to spend additional time with
your child(ren) on campus. Your participation at IDS-CC fulfills
the link allowing our school to be a true community. The parent
volunteers form the triad in a joined partnership with our
outstanding faculty and staff and our terrific students. The essential
integration of the volunteer program lends a sense of uniqueness to
our school community. We come together in a warm and nurturing
environment, while supporting the goals of enriching our
community at IDS-CC.
Last year, the combined total efforts of our fundraising activities
yielded over $225,000! These funds, raised through our various
volunteer programs benefited all of our IDS-CC students both in
and out of the classroom!
We look forward to your participation as we embark upon a new
year. As you share your time, talents, resources and special
interests, we know that you will receive the special satisfaction of
knowing that you are personally contributing to the enhancement of
our school. Come catch the spirit with IDS-CC!
